The best restaurants in Tanfield County Durham North East

Just bought a pitman's pies Corned beef and it was like eating baby food purée, not a great experience and definitely not what I expected from a local company that should know what a cornbeef pie should be, couldn't eat the mush.

A great find especially when also looking for a nice walk nearby. You don’t have to ride the train to use this station tea room. Large car park, dog friendly, check opening hours - car park closes at 2.30pm Lovely, friendly lady served us with very nice coffee and cheese toasties as we sat next to the log burner. Pasties and pies looked very nice and the cakes looked so yummy we couldn’t resist having some to takeaway ( it was delicious) We can thoroughly recommend and will definitely return

Good value, food was hot and was ready for collection. It does help if you give them a little time to cook it. No

My brother, myself and our wives called in on the anniversary of our mam’s death. It’s one of those places where the food is ok, but, there’s room for improvement.

If you like your coke chopped and sniffed rather than in a glass then it’s ok. Frequented by every low life in the area with regular late night fights outside. Was ok when it first opened but now no decent people go

Met up with some mates in Stanley before starting our road trip down to Dover then Calais, they were already tucking into some breakfast goodies, so I opted for a Full English and a coffee for myself, just to be sociable. Reading through some of these reviews and I’m wondering if I was in the same place? I found the staff were very attentive, polite and friendly, the breakfast beautifully cooked, well presented and substantial, the coffee excellent. Shamrock Bar in Stanley is a decent little cafe that serves decent food, I’m more than happy to recommend.

No food yet but they hope to get food under way soon,if they do I will go to see what they are serving

We had a meal here as we were stopping at hotel 52. We had a delicious meal. The waitress Lucy was wonderful as was the young man behind the bar. They were on their own without the manager and did a brilliant job

Been using this place for over 20years and never been disappointed when i was working and since retiring 17yrs ago. Make one of the best deepan Pizza in the area and great value for money.All the lads go there on Friday night even after being miles away. Best Pizza in the area without doubt forget the late comers trying to muscle in

Don't expect warm food. A thought the driver had given me a bag of shopping from herons by mistake. I assume the order is ready sat waiting for the delivery driver cooling. Gets put in his little bag on his bike.Stops off 2 deliveries on way. No care in what they are sending out. Minging actually 🤢

Didn’t get my Dr Pepper or some of my crisps

Ordered 3 large pizzas via Just Eat app. Delivered on time, still hot and tasty. Garlic bread with cheese very good too. Would order from here again.
